Description

Explore the mechanics of humor with The Language of Jokes: Analyzing Verbal Play by Delia Chiaro. Published by Routledge, this book offers a deep look into the pragmatics of word play through the lens of descriptive linguistics. Instead of relying solely on theory, Chiaro uses examples from personally recorded conversations to examine how jokes, quips, riddles, and asides actually function in real-world settings. This work examines how people use puns and creative discourse to navigate social interactions. You will learn about the tellability of jokes, the ways listeners interpret humor, and how speakers deviate from established linguistic conventions. By focusing on sociocultural contexts, the book explains how the production and reception of jokes are tied to the world around us. It is a highly readable resource for anyone interested in the structure of verbal play and the social impact of humor.
